Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 81 Gandalf's Wand
At Beorn's invitation, everyone stayed here for another day.

Taking advantage of this time, Dewi also started working on Gandalf's wand.

The grapevine wood used as the body of the staff has already been carved, and the only missing part, the core, has now been found. In addition, other resins, lacquers, etc. have also been prepared.

So, under Gandalf's expectant gaze, Dui carefully processed the eagle king's tail feather, and used tweezers to carefully place it evenly into the hollow hole in the vine wood, and then poured resin into the hole to completely integrate the core and the body of the wand.

Finally, it is polished and ancient magic runes are engraved on the end... At this point, a complete magic wand is completely formed.

At midnight, when the moon reached the zenith, Dui waved his wand and chanted a complex and lengthy mysterious spell. The moonlight gathered like silver mist and entered the wand from the tip, completely awakening the wand.

Feeling that the wand in his hand seemed to have come to life, Dui showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He handed the wand to Gandalf, who was already impatient.

"It's twelve inches long, with a vine wood shaft. It's suitable for wizards with lofty pursuits, who keep their true intentions secret and possess extraordinary foresight. The eagle's tail feathers serve as the core, allowing the wand to cast spells extremely quickly. It's well-suited for various offensive or powerful spells, and it's also highly loyal to its owner."

"Gandalf, try it," Dewi urged.

This was his first time making a wand for someone else, and he was very excited.

Gandalf took the wand and held it in his hand, his face also full of anticipation.

With a light wave, he used the light magic that he was best at.

In an instant, the tip of the wand flashed with dazzling light, illuminating Gandalf's smiling face.

"It's an amazing feeling! It's like my arm has been extended, and casting magic is much easier!"

Seeing this, Dui felt a surge of joy and satisfaction in his heart.

He now understood Ollivander's feelings a little. Seeing the wand he made find a suitable owner, there is always a sense of psychological satisfaction of being recognized.

"This wand was made in a hurry. You can use it first. I will make you a better wand when I have the chance."

Dewi was not particularly satisfied with the finished wand, and assured Gandalf.

According to his wand maker, the Eagle King's tail feathers were useful but not the most suitable for Gandalf. Even the vine wood wand body was made from a most ordinary Huorn branch, so this wand could only be considered passing.

Dui thought that when he found a better magical tree in the future, such as the White Tree or the Maelstrom, which were descendants of the Two Trees, he could try to make another wand for Gandalf.

As for the wand core, if one is strong enough, one can even consider the Balrog under the Mines of Moria.

After all, they both have fire attributes, and are future enemies. Maybe they are really the destined cores of the magic wand.

Gandalf didn't have so many demands. He played with the wand in his hand and liked it very much.

He shook his head with a look of delight: "Don't bother, Doyle, this wand is already good enough!"

As he spoke, he waved his wand, releasing strong winds, flames, light, lightning, etc.

The more he played, the brighter his eyes became. He happily said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Thank you, Doyle. I can feel that as long as I use this wand to cast spells, the constraints on me are much less."

Dui understood what Gandalf said, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you sure, Gandalf?"

You have to know that Gandalf is restricted by the Valar, so he cannot use magic too much.

But now that I use a wand I made myself, there is no such restriction?
Is the wand he made so magical?

"It's true." Gandalf nodded with a smile.

"While you still can't cast powerful spells, some ordinary spells are no longer restricted." "Congratulations, Gandalf," Dui said sincerely after confirming.

He was looking forward to seeing what Gandalf would look like in the future, with a wand in one hand and a sword in the other.

After completing Gandalf's wand,

After obtaining Beorn's permission, Dewi used magic to connect Beorn's fireplace to the Floo Network, gave him a small bag of Floo powder, and invited him to visit Weathertop in the future.

Beorn was very surprised by the power of Floo powder and gladly accepted Dewi's invitation.

The group did not stay here for long and set off again after breakfast the next day.

When they said goodbye, Beorn lent them horses, which would take them to the edge of Mirkwood.

He also told Gandalf some bad news: an orc army had recently been gathering in the area of ​​Dol Guldur at the southern end of Mirkwood, and there were even traces of the Ringwraiths.

Gandalf looked solemn when he heard the news and remained silent.

Until they said goodbye to Beorn and rode across the wilderness to the edge of Mirkwood.

Gandalf suddenly suggested going somewhere else and parting with them temporarily.

Everyone was very surprised and confused when they heard this.

Thorin frowned even more, and his attitude became cold again.

In his eyes, nothing was more important than reaching the Lonely Mountain, and Gandalf's behavior seemed to him to be a betrayal.

Dewi was not surprised. After all, Gandalf had told him about this possibility before they set out. Combined with the information provided by Daregast and Beorn, he was surprised that they left now.

After all, for Gandalf, the purpose of organizing the expedition was to prevent the dragon Smaug and the Orc Alliance from affecting the situation in Middle-earth.

Now the orcs are gathering in Dol Guldur, and even the Ringwraiths have appeared here. This situation is much more serious than that in the Lonely Mountain.

So he had to go to Dol Gudu to find out.

Dewi hesitated a little. Should he tell Gandalf directly that Sauron was there and had even regained his strength?
He remembered that Gandalf was trapped in Dol Guldur by Sauron and was imprisoned and tortured until the members of the White Council came to rescue him.

"Gandalf, have you ever considered that this is a trap?" Dui hesitantly reminded, "The orcs are gathering in Dol Guldur, and the Ringwraiths are lurking there. The master behind them is very likely hiding there."

"The other side has a lot of people and is very powerful. If you go there alone, you will probably get stuck there."

"Thank you for your reminder, Doir." Gandalf said solemnly.

"It's because it's very likely a trap that I need to go there. If I can prove that the necromancer is Sauron, it will alert all the forces in Middle-earth and allow them to unite once again to prevent the revival of the dark forces!"

Then he changed the subject and winked at Dui.

"So I would like to invite you to go to Dol Gudu with me."

"I believe that with the two of us working together, we can retreat safely even if we are defeated."

"What! I'm going with you?"

Dui widened his eyes, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
